"la pouce" in Paris, La Défense
There are several examples of Caesar's famous thumb, but the one at La Défense, a technical feat of enlarged casting, is the most imposing at 12 meters high and 18 tons in weight. Le Pouce can be found in many institutional collections and public spaces around the world, including Seoul, Washington and Koblenz.
The original model, a reproduction of the artist's thumb created in 1965 for an exhibition on the theme of the hand, measured "only" 40 cm and fetched 1.2 million euros at a prestige sale during the Foire Internationale d'Art Contemporain (FIAC).
